Job description

About this role

Employer-provided description, formatted for easier reading.

Salesforce is hiring Deployment Strategists — Strategic Builders who are customer-facing advisors, who define AI strategy, shape agentic solutions, and drive measurable adoption for enterprise customers. You'll work as part of a delivery team alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, translating complex business challenges into agentic AI deployments that go live and generate real value.

Engagements are focused and time-bound — typically 12 weeks or less — and may span a single strategic account or multiple customers simultaneously. Your impact isn't just getting to deployment. It ensures customers realise lasting, scalable value from the solutions your team builds.

Key Responsibilities

  • Full Lifecycle Ownership: Lead end-to-end customer engagement across the complete value lifecycle — Identify → Commit → Deploy → Consume — owning outcomes at every stage, not just discovery or deal closure
  • AI Strategy & Architecture: Define the customer's Agentic AI strategy and roadmap. Lead design workshops, agent design sessions, and jobs-to-be-done analysis. Architect solutions spanning Salesforce's agentic AI platform, Data Cloud, and enterprise systems, with responsible AI governance baked in from the start.
  • Deployment Oversight & Program Management: Manage engagement delivery end-to-end timelines, stakeholder communication, risk escalation, and progress reporting. You are the operational backbone of your delivery team, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Adoption & Consumption: Own adoption, consumption, and expansion metrics within your engagement scope. Identify blockers early and develop strategies to drive measurable value realization
  • Delivery Team Coordination: Partner closely with the Forward Deployed Engineers on your team to align strategy with technical execution. Keep the team focused, unblocked, and on track to hit delivery milestones.
  • AI-Supported Development: You'll be developing real customer solutions supported by leading-edge AI tools: Including
  • Cursor, Claude, and our coding products like Vibes, to accelerate development.
  • Customer Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary customer-facing contact, building trust-based relationships with senior stakeholders and present proposals, decisions and outcomes in terms of business value, not just technical detail.
  • AI Readiness: Assess customer readiness for AI adoption and guide change management and process transformation to maximise the benefits of intelligent agents
  • Product Feedback Loop: Synthesise field insights and translate them into actionable product feedback that influences Salesforce's Agentic AI platform roadmap.

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years (6-10 years for Senior levels) experience in strategic solutioning, technical advisory, or delivery leadership or programme management for enterprise cloud or SaaS technology
  • You have a degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Prior customer-facing delivery experience (consulting, professional services, or technical advisory) - this is a requirement, not a nice-to-have
  • Demonstrated understanding of the Salesforce platform and ecosystem, including Agentic AI capabilities and Data Cloud
  • Working knowledge of one or more programming languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, or Apex
  • Proven ability to lead and own complex, ambiguous engagements end-to-end — from discovery through to measurable outcomes
  • Experience leading AI/LLM solution design, including agentic AI strategy, conversation design, and responsible AI practices
  • Strong project and programme management skills — ability to run multiple workstreams, manage stakeholder expectations, and keep delivery on track in ambiguous environments
  • Ability to travel to customer sites as needed to ensure client success
  • Business level proficiency in Italian and English
  • Computer Science or Related Degree

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with Salesforce Data Cloud, Agentforce platform, and Salesforce CRM (Sales, Service, Marketing)
  • Experience designing and deploying AI solutions in regulated industries (e.g., public sector, financial services, healthcare)
  • Salesforce platform certifications (e.g., Data Cloud Consultant, Agentforce Specialist, Application Architect) or similar platform certifications such as Microsoft, Oracle, or similar platforms.
  • Background in change management, organisational design, or enterprise transformation
  • Experience with AI/ML concepts beyond LLMs, including NLP, RAG architectures, and model evaluation frameworks
  • A get-things-done mindset with strong bias for action — comfortable operating in unstructured fast moving environments
